  1. divide both by 42

    so you are right


  2. Yes. And 126 / 84 = 3 / 2  

  3. That's correct

  4. Just start factoring them,

    126 = 63 * 2 = 7 * 3 * 3 * 2

    84 = 42 * 2 = 7 * 3 * 2 * 2

    Wipe out the common factors and you're left with 3 to 2.

  5. Right.

    To simplify a fraction, it helps to expand the numerator and denominator to the prime multiples. Let me explain.

    Divide both numbers by as many prime numbers as possible:

    126 = 2×3×3×7

    84 = 2×2×3×7

    Now start to cancel prime factors. You can cross out a 2, 3, and 7. What you're left with is 3/2.

  6. It's correct.

  7. yes please tell me !

  8. 126/84 simplifies to 3/2 if that's what you mean . . .  

  9. it is correct
